At last night's Triangle .Net User Group (TRINUG) meeting we were discussing issues when installing the RTM version on systems that previous versions were installed in. It is very important that you completely uninstall any previous beta or CTP versions before installing the release software. The tool that we spoke of is available here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/support/uninstall/default.aspx
